KIP-382 — MirrorMaker 2.0
Accepted Kafka 2.4 MirrorMaker
Replaces MirrorMaker 1 with MirrorMaker 2, a Kafka Connect-based replication framework that preserves partition semantics, syncs ACLs and topic configurations, supports exactly-once delivery, enables active-active topologies, and allows configuration changes without cluster restarts. MirrorMaker 1 had critical limitations: default topic configuration loss, no ACL/config sync, loss of semantic partitioning, and no consumer migration support across clusters.
